Alright so, this is what I have so far that I am salvaging.
-seagate barracuda 1 tb hdd ST1000DM003
-Thermaltake smartm 750w 80 bronze
-Asus Geforce GTX 970 4gb (upgradeable)
So my budget is 2000 $CAD (don't need to spend it all)
I game mostly, playing witcher 3, doom and, Lara croft shadow of the tomb raider, I would like to do some 3d modeling for metal working projects.
I have peripherals, the monitor is a asus 27" at 1080p
I have to be honest my pc building skills are lackluster at best, i only have a slight idea of where i want my rig to go, i'm not a AMD or Intel fanboy so if the price is fair i'll go either way,
the asus 970 will be upgraded later to possibly a 1080ti, the case can be minimalist without RGB, just need good airflow with filters.
I'll take performance over looks anyday, everything else is up for debate, any help is very welcomed and appreciated.
